How To: Handle a stray dog

In this tutorial, Zephyr Clarke-Dolberg tells us how to handle a stray dog that you find and want to help. Shelters are always a good option for dogs you find on the street, if you cannot keep it. If you decide you can keep your dog, you should make sure to sanitize yourself until you can take it into the vet to get checked out. The vet will also check to see if it has a microchip, so you know if it has an owner. If you can't keep the dog, you can foster it for a couple of weeks, then a human society can take it in and give it all its shots to make sure its healthy. If you think it's a lost dog, try putting up posters and asking on the internet if anyone has lost the dog you have found.
